Dave,

I must first admit knowing _nothing_ about OSProcess, so following remarks may be less than intelligent.

The Cuis-Smalltalk-OSProcess GIT project cloned just fine.

I made some guesses about what the OSProcess package requires.

=================In Workspace:
"OSProcess"
Feature require: 'FFI'.
Feature require: 'SqueakCompatibility'.
Feature require: 'Network-Kernel'.
Feature require: 'OSProcess'.
============================

There were some test failures.  In particular:

UnixProcessTestCase
	forkSqueak requires XDisplayControlPlugin

AioEcentHandlerTestCase
	aio event forwarding not supported


Note that I am running Puppy Linux (5.6.1 Precise) -- think Ubuntu.


Assuming I got the requirements right, you can edit OSProcess.pck.st to add them.

Change:

======...
!provides: 'OSProcess' 1 0!
!classDefinition: #AioEventHandler category: #'OSProcess-AIO'!
======...

To:

======...
!provides: 'OSProcess' 1 0!
!requires: 'FFI' 1 4 nil!
!requires: 'SqueakCompatibility' 1 4 nil!
!requires: 'Network-Kernel' 1 1 nil!
!classDefinition: #AioEventHandler category: #'OSProcess-AIO'!
======...

That is, just add the !requires:... lines after the !provides:... line.


Hmmm..  We really need a tool for this.  I will try to fit something to the Installed Packages browser to edit requirements when I get time.


Let me know of anything else I can do to help,
